This scheme of work is designed to accompany the use of Collins’ A-level Mathematics Year 1 and AS Student Book, and references to sections in that book are given for each lesson.The scheme of work follows the order of the Student Book: this is not a suggested teaching order but is designed for flexible planning. Each chapter from the Student Book is divided into one-hour lessons. We have assumed that approximately 120 one-hour lessons are taught during the year, however lessons can be combined as you choose depending on your timetabling and preferred teaching order, and we have left some free time for additional linking, problem-solving or investigation work and assessments. We have suggested at the start of each chapter which chapters it would be beneficial to have already covered, to get the most out of the materials. In addition, we have brought out links and cross-references between different topics in column 4 to assist you with planning your own route through the course and making synoptic connections between topics for students.Chapters 1 – 11 cover the pure mathematics content that is tested at AS and also at A-level.Chapters 12 – 14 cover the statistics content that is tested at AS and also at A-level.Chapters 15 – 16 cover the mechanics content that is tested at AS and also at A-level.Each lesson is matched to the DfE-specified A-level Mathematics subject content and the corresponding Student Book section with all relevant exercises and activities listed. Learning objectives for each lesson are given, and a brief description of the lesson’s coverage to aid with your planning. A review lesson with assessment opportunities is plotted at the end of each chapter, with exam-style practice available from the Student Book and our Collins Connect digital platform.At the start of each chapter, we have suggested opportunities for you to use technology in the classroom. These ideas are developed further in the Student Book with in-context Technology boxes. In addition, you’ll find activities in the Student Book to explore the exam board-provided large data sets using a range of technologies. These are clearly indicated in the scheme of work, and can be flexibly adapted to be the focus of class, group or individual work.The scheme suggested is of course flexible and editable to correspond with your timetabling and to enable you to plan your own route through the course. We hope that you will find this a useful aid to your planning and teaching.KEYEx – exerciseDS – Data set activity (Statistics chapters only)Scheme of WorkCollins A-level Mathematics Year 1 and AS (120 hours)CHAPTER 1 – Algebra and functions 1: Manipulating algebraic expressions (8 Hours) Prior knowledge neededGCSE Maths onlyTechnologyUse the factorial and combinations button on a calculator.One hour lessonsLearning objectivesSubject content referencesTopic links Student Book references1 Manipulating polynomials algebraically Students collect like terms with expressions that include fractional coefficients and are expected to write expressions with terms written in descending order of index.
